Army Corps of Hell distinguishes itself from the rest of the PS Vita system lineup with its gut-spilling battles, over-the-top humor and heavy metal music. As the King of Hell, players control an army of a hundred goblins of three classes: Soldiers, Magi and Spearmen. Each goblin class has various abilities to defeat a host of enemies to help the King of Hell reclaim his throne. In Army Corps of Hell, players and their friends can take full advantage of the ad-hoc multiplayer system and the unique control features of the PS Vita system to experience war like never before!

Square Enix also announced that free downloadable content (DLC) will be available, allowing players to equip the goblin soldiers and make battles even more viciously fun! The "Pumpkin Equipment Set" will be available starting February 28. Additional scheduled DLC includes the "Frog Equipment Set" on March 13 and the "Bunny Ears Equipment Set" on April 3.
